Jazz solo....o con leche

The information contained in this lesson is not new–for an advanced player–however the book and the DVD complete with backing tracks is well worth the price. I was able to get through the book in a weekend and have a few new ideas. I have made the exercises part of my warm-up routine as they will have you moving across and down the neck in a logical manner.The first few pages show how to work the blues scale up and down the neck using the basic pentatonic boxes and slides–diagonal approach. Next the author shows the three-note per string approach to using pentatonics which has a more modern and less “boxy” sound than trying to work it all in one position.Then he continues on with the aeolian, dorian, phrygian, locrian, harmonic and melodic minor, and other more exotic scale work. What I like about the examples is that the author not only works them at various tempos but also shows to work them backwards, a powerful tool to increase your musical vocabulary. Having the DVD makes all of the difference as it shows the author playing the examples according to his convictions which tends to bring life to the book.Good stuff here.
